BME680 Reading is Celsius but default unit is Kelvin - BTsail - 2021-04-22
Strange issue with my i2c BME680 sensor; I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this in signal K. Since the sensor did not show up the sensor list in the openplotter sensor list, I used the signalk plugin @oehoe83/signalk-raspberry-pi-bme680. It reads the data from temp/humidity/pressure (no gas reading which the sensor is capable of but of minor importance to me). The default unit signalK assumes it's getting from the sensor is K (kelvin) but the numeric reading in the data field is actually C (Celsius). This is creating havoc as when KIP or others try to do the conversion it assume the number is in K and given some incorrect negative value. Has anyone else come across this?
